Turns out I’m not quite done obsessing over Musical Transients (previously, previouslier), and I found this video of a YouTuber playing the album on Clone Hero, because the album’s got an official Clone Hero chart to download and play.
Anyway: Acai turns out to be not only a kickass Clone Hero player, but he’s also a fun and charismatic commentator to take along for the ride.
Incidentally, it was fun to see that the same level of attention to detail has been paid to the on-screen lyrics for Clone Hero as were to the subtitles on the video version of the album. For example, they’ll sometimes imply that the next line is what you’re expecting it to be, based on a familiarity with the song, only to bait-and-switch it out for the actual lyrics at the last second. Genius.
Fun Fact! The Clone Hero Karaoke Track actually came before the subtitles on the video. After watching the video soon after it came out, I got into contact with Psynwav to convert the Karaoke track into video subtitles. I used a python script to convert the karaoke into a subtitle as a base and spent about 5 days re-timing, coloring, and adding special effects. Thanks for the kind words!

Recognised your handle rightaway! Thanks for your work on subtitling the video: you did an absolutely stellar job.
